Creating N number of waves

// NOTE: Output waves are overwritten if they already exist.
// Example:
//  Make /O /N=10 testInputWave = p
//  Edit testInputWave
//  DecomposeNumeric1DWave(testInputWave, 3, "output")
//  AppendToTable output0, output1, output2, output3
Function DecomposeNumeric1DWave(w, pointsPerOutputWave, baseName)
    Wave w                          // A 1D wave
    Variable pointsPerOutputWave    // e.g., 1024
    String baseName             // e.g., "wave" to get wave0, wave1, . . .
   
    Variable numInputPoints = numpnts(w)
    if (numInputPoints == 0)
        return 0
    endif
   
    Variable numOutputWaves = ceil(numInputPoints / pointsPerOutputWave)
   
    Variable startPoint=0, endPoint
   
    Variable i
    for(i=0; i<numOutputWaves; i+=1)
        String outputName
        sprintf outputName, "%s%d", baseName, i // wave0, wave1
        endPoint = startPoint + pointsPerOutputWave - 1
        endPoint = min(endPoint, numInputPoints-1)
        Duplicate /O /R=[startPoint, endPoint] w, $outputName
        startPoint = endPoint + 1
    endfor
